  • WOW Maleficent looks so different without her green make-up in that main picture! lol

  • Questions:
    –we were at Disneyland this weekend and on a night when they had a private party at DL for Halloween, they had 2 monorails running, however the next day when it was very crowded and open to the public there was only one running. Why do they schedule trains in this way?
    –what will be at the Carthay Theater in DCA?
    Thanks!
